Buried in white
winter wraps
the grass in
a casket of ice

my heart beats faintly

still stirring
beneath the sting
of your silence

the grass is just
playing dead
nestled between
the camoflauge that
adheres to it

the cold bites down
hard, drowns itself
in a mirror of streams
nourishing the faithful
ones below

the grass will herald
the glorius green of
spring, taking the
stage come the march moon

it's all seasonal
and speculation

your heart still beats
one beat beneath mine

maybe when the trees
and her leaves reunite,
you will call my name
again at my bare window

Buried in white
the winter has
wrapped the grass
in a casket of ice

(sigh) Yay! I love the spring as it is my favorite season and I believe the most happiest time of year, sweet friend, yay, I wish this voice of love to come through your window soon like this, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Michele, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Don't you just hate the way the chill creeps up and leaves you shivering?

Loved this Michele, hope you are keeping warm enough.

Michele:

beautiful transition here:

the grass in
a casket of ice

my heart beats faintly


Loved the metaphor and the comparison here, and I, too wish for that same serenity

Michelle, I know that I've already replied to this...but
I just wanted to tell you again how much I enjoy
Your writing. I wish I could do the metaphors
the way you do. You are good, Lady.
I love this part.......

your heart still beats
one beat beneath mine

maybe when the trees
and her leaves reunite,
you will call my name
again at my bare window


Hugs,
Ethel
